Buying the dip after a 50% YTD drop can be tempting, but it’s risky. A rebound only works if the company still has strong fundamentals, clear catalysts, and valuations that overshot to the downside. Otherwise, you risk “catching a falling knife.”

Names like Oklo (OKLO) and MP Materials (MP) benefit from secular tailwinds (nuclear microreactors, rare earths) but remain volatile—Oklo is still pre-revenue, and MP’s earnings are uneven despite U.S. strategic demand. CRCL, IREN, NBIS are higher-risk plays with less visibility; momentum could flip fast.

Meanwhile, the top gainers (+200%+) are already extended—buying now means chasing momentum, not value. The smarter approach may be a barbell: keep exposure to proven winners while taking only small, sized bets on select dip plays with credible turnaround potential.

👉 Unless you have high risk tolerance and a long horizon, focus on quality rather than hope for rebounds.

5x Winners vs. 50% Losers: Buy High, Ride Higher? Or Buy Low, Go Big?
Two-thirds of this year have already passed, and many companies have seen 10x gains. We’ve heard that many investors around us have made good profits this year. Which of these high-performing stocks have you managed to catch? On the other hand, there are also some stocks that can’t be ignored—they’ve been cut in half even as the broader market keeps hitting record highs. These companies have fallen nearly 50% YTD. Is it a good time to buy the dip now?

    Oklo party is over, the rest of it is downhill or freefall. Look for other parties elsewhere that just began, such as HTZ party that started skyrocketing right now. Sell OKLO, and buy HTZ, you'll get rich soon!

    OKLO/MP have secular tailwinds! Small dip buys on these could pay off long-term!
